    — rant on —

    The designers where I work like to use the folder within a folder for organization purposes on our larger projects. AE however will only accept things only 1 folder deep. Is there a trick to get it to recognize multiple folder layers?

    Also I’m running an ATI Radeon X1950 which I’m pretty darn sure can do everything necessary for the enhanced OpenGL options but I think AE checks a list and puts the kabosh on the advanced options. Anyone know of an override?

    Thanks in advance!

    heheh… what do you think I’m doing now with them? 😉

    The problem is that the darn folders have multiple layers and folders in them which makes it more time consuming than it should be to organize this stuff. I’m not talking about small photoshop projects with 20 total layers in it, that would be cake. I work with files that can have up to 200-300 layers. We do long form commercials as well as DVD menus, etc.

    I can easily spend a couple of hours just organizing these files in either photoshop or AE.

    I think you’re talking about “layer sets” in Photoshop – not folders on the harddrive. It would have helped to mention Photoshop in the description of your problem.

    I don’t have a solution though.
